Erotische Porträts zum Träumen gefällig? Kein Problem. Lieven Michiels inszeniert und photographiert sinnliche Bilder, die zum Verweilen und Genießen einladen und von deren Anblick man sich kaum trennen kann. Entgegen anderslautenden Behauptungen aber bleibt der erotischste Teil des menschlichen Körpers nicht Busen oder Po, sondern der Kopf. Weiche Lippen, die zum Küssen herausfordern, lange oder gelockte Haare die locken und Augen, in deren Weite man versinken kann, sind pure Keimzellen erotischer Phantasien. Und Lieven Michiels ist offensichtlich einer ihrer Propheten.

I was born the 6th of octobre 1977
in Bruges. At 12 year my mom bought a videocamera which was my
pet-toy until I was 16 years old. Then I moved to Brussels to study
2 years audiovisual formation in St-Lucas. After that I did 4
years film school at Narafi. In Narafi I directed 2 short
movies. In my last year I switched to Director of Photography.
Which is basicly directing the camerawork in all of it's aspects.
In which lighting a scene or a shot (more subtely) is a very big
thing. There I've learned allot about the technical aspect of
lighting. Though after it I've switched towards editing, which can
seem for an outsider far away from camerawork. Though when you
edit you look allot towards camerawork and you know how to build a
scene. At the moment I'm editing in the news, so I get
confronted with allot of camerawork which is fast and not done
with great lighting etc... So it creates a frustration.
Photography allows one to study a still-image, a moment in time.
Model Photography allows me to work on my directing skills
and also on my lighting skills. In the way I understand it, it
allows me to dig deeper in the psychology of an image. It's a
search to understand what the language of the light can tell us.
It is a language which has allot to offer at it's own, in film
it's dimension can be made bigger with the music, movement, rithm
of dialogue, rithm of camerawork, rithm of editing, etc...
Photography allows you 'in time' to
look true the eyes of the grand masters as Van Eyck, Rembrandt,
Vermeer, ... And actually it is painting with light I do. The only
thing I do, the moment the photographer doesn't see what he's
shooting, is pushing a button and enjoying the magic of it for a
lifetime.
